Thread: keep the youth
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Weezley</b></div><div>I don’t understand the hate he gets. Defensively his number are fine. On top of his offensive numbers it is great. He is a turnover machine, which is quite common for those that lead the breakout (see: Doughty). His failures have been well documented because they tend to happen at the worst time (see: Game 7). Because of his inopportune timing, the trolly internet has deemed him a liability, which triggers the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon. If someone points out something to you, you are going to be subconsciously looking for it, therefore more aware.</div></div>

I'm also sick and tired of hearing that about Gardiner. Thanks for coming up with the Baader-Meinhof bias. To make things worse, Jake played a tremendous role in that series (Game 6 in particular), but so many people remember only the third period of Game 7. What really happened then doesn't even justify the flawed narrative that haters are sharing on the web. Gardiner was caught on speed on one play, which rarely happens, and DeBrusk scored a goal with no angle, a shot that Andersen would have stopped 99 times out of 100.
